  Saudi Aramco World : The World of Mohamed Zakariya   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Such a wealth of knowledge and precision was, and still is, required to build an astrolabe that the skill was often passed from father to son, as in the case of 12th-century artisans Hamad ibn Mahmud al-Isfahani and his son Muhammad.
Zakariya's success as a calligrapher is reflected in his knowledge of the Qur'an and classic Arabic literature, and in his mastery of the many details and ancillary crafts of the art of calligraphy.
As he demonstrates his work, Zakariya explains how many steps are involved before he actually sits down to produce a piece of "beautiful writing." Ink, made from the soot of linseed oil he burns in his back yard, is combined with gum arabic and water and stirred for hours.

Zakariya says it’s taken him 20 years to build up his artistic credibility, and now he hopes to attract the attention of publishers who can help him make calligraphy accessible and understandable to the American people.

In this episode, Zakiya Zakariya was a shehhaata (beggar) in flface, who had somehow gotten into an upscale hotel and proceeded to go door to door with two filthy children in tow, who cry and scream on demand.
